get your B up and your hair will stop falling out. I take liquid B12 complex and love it. I buy it from Puritans pride it is their brand. I just had my levels checked late 10 month post op and they are great. :)

This hasn't worked for me. I get a monthly B12 shot and I take a Multivitamin with Bs every day. I shed like a pine tree.

I was sleeved 2/12. I know its early for hairloss, but at one point I was getting sunspots from the medication and once I swiched brands the spots stopped.

Hey lady! My hair is a big concern for me too! My hair is like yours now! So you said beta carotene but didnt list how much. Also the Biotin is that 5000 mg or MCG? I can not find anything larger then 5000mcg and that is only 5 mg total. Big I'd like to take the larger doses before anything! If at all possible could you let me know if the bottle says mg or MCG? You rock!

You rock! Thanks for the reply! I wanted to make sure cause I'm very worried about my hair! ;-) what does the beta carotene do? Also have you hear of silica? I've hear people are using that too? I'm on Vitamin D ;-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
